Leonardo DiCaprio has had as many iconic hairstyles as he has film roles.

Sometimes, he styles against the part, and other times, he incorporates it into his styling.

“This is what lots of young guys look like at the moment.

The hairstyle has a casual vibe to it, and it is easy to maintain.”

Rasmus adds that you don’t need to use a lot of styling products to keep your hair smooth.

He suggests a goodleave-in conditionerorhair oilwill suffice.

This look helped cement Leo asthe'90s heartthrob.

“Now, THIS is a classic Leo look!

Straight hair is needed to obtain this one,” Emil says.

Then, add mud wax with shine and good hold to almost dried hair.

“For this hairstyle to work, you better build volume,” says Emil.

“Preferably with a clay wax and just your hands as the tool.”

Try American Crew’s Molding Clay for high hold and medium shine.

“This is easy to uphold and style with minimum effort,” Rasmus assures.

“Use a mud wax with high hold and no shine.

We made By Vilain’s Gold Digger Wax for this exact kind of style.”

Smooth Man Bun

“Theman bunis still going strong.

You either love it or hate it,” Emil says.

It requires length and, beyond styling, maintenance in the form of haircare."

Think: Good shampoos, conditioners, hair masks, regular trimmings, and the like.

In other words, it takes a lot of time and attention to look this effortless!

“[This is a] no-effort look, notes Rasmus.

“This is probably the result of using minimum styling products,” he adds.

“The key to this result is blow-drying.

Add a light styling product to wet hair, section the hair, and blow-dry.

That’s it.”

“It really depends on what result you’re going for.”

The wetter the hair when you style it, the slicker and more business-ready it will be.

It almost looks like a second-day version, restyled with dry shampoo,” says Rasmus.

Rasmus advises against trying to do this at home, even if it looks like a doable DIY buzz.

“Style with your hands and your preferred high-hold product.

Easy, really.”

(We think V76’s Molding Paste would do the job to provide good texture and movement.)

Longer in Front

“Quite similar to the previous style, this differentiates with the longer front.

It’s a forced part against his center cowlick split.

Blind Barber’s Premium Pomade would probably do the trick.

Leo’s manicured, shortgoateepasses the test in this case.

“This style is loose and light, with volume and texture on top,” says Rasmus.

A wide-tooth comb is highly recommended for this style.

Try By Vilain’s Silver Fox Hair Wax and Sidekick Pre-Style Spray.

“The slick wet look is super easy to pull off since you don’t have to blow-dry.

Try By Vilain’s XL Comb with Silver Fox Hair Wax.

American Crew’s Pomade should give the perfect high shine and medium hold required to maintain the ‘do.

“it’s possible for you to tame this style with a strong mud wax,” says Emil.

By Vilain’s Gold Digger Wax is a prime candidate.

“This only takes five minutes of blow-drying in the morning with pre-styling products,” Rasmus says.

If you have a swill like that, style it with a blow-dryer on full heat.

By parting it on one side and masking the opposite side, it de-emphasizes any receding.

(Though to be fair, Leo has kept things pretty locked and loaded across that hairline.)

“Blow-drying is the key to making the quiff stay in place,” Emil says.

Simply Sleek

Leave it to Leo to always resort back to the classics.

Keep your ‘do sleek all day long by opting for your go-to choice of gel.

Keep your ‘do in place all night long by opting for a medium wax.

Opt for hard wax or gel if, by chance, you’re wanting to give your look thewet-haireffect.

The curl only takes a tad bit of heat and hairspray to maintain its shape.

Take cues from the actor and embrace an opposite side part for more “oomph.”
